    Default Using 360 controllers on the original Xbox?

    I hate the placement of the Black and White buttons on the Xbox's Controller S (and the less said about the original, the better). However, I really like the 360 controller. So, especially since the corded 360 controllers use USB, I was wondering: is it possible to use a 360 controller on the original Xbox?

    I'm thinking it's possible.

    Here are some possibilities:

    1: Make up a xbox 360 to Xbox cable (Reccomended)

    2: Mod the cable so it goes to xbox. (Not reccomended)

    1. Buy a wired controller.

    2. By the USB-female break-a-way connector for some online mod store.

    I'm guessing, due to its name, that the "Play and charge kit" for the wireless controller allows you to use the controller with the usb? Cause if so I was planning on picking one of these up anyway and I'll give it a try with my usb->xbox adapter.

    Wait a minute. If they make a USB to XBox adapter, then wouldn't you be able to just plug a wired 360 controller into this deal and then on to the XBox?

    What is a USB --> XBox adapter usually used for? What other USB devices would you want to plug into an XBox?

    Won't work, the xbox won't recognize the 360 controller as a valid device.
